Breckenridge Public Art Collection

Since the early 1960’s, Breckenridge has honored the Norse god of skiing, Ullr, in a raucous annual festival that beseeches the skies to open and drop their bounty of crystalline gold. Seen by many as the bringer of snow, Ullr is idolized in this metal sculpture by the late Richard Jagoda, who was a key character in the earliest Ullr Fest antics, and a member of the first ski school at Breckenridge. The piece was purchased for the Breckenridge public art collection by Atlas Development Corporation.
